I can't say which is "best," but an old-fashioned oiled K&N drop-in works for me. I think I paid $80. Very nice aggressive noise on hard acceleration. I wash it every 20k miles, as I've done on other cars for years. Never had an oil-clogged MAF. I'm skeptical that a pricey carbon-fiber intake would squeeze out much more power than a K&N or basic dry filter. But bling is zero, if that's important to you.
